I found this while I was trying to find something online about why my Jazzy power chair makes a rough noise when running. It gets louder as I go faster. I wish I could have gone to a Vo-Tech school when I was younger ,( I'm 78 now), to learn this kind of stuff because I love it. I didn't understand a lot of what you were talking about but it was fascinating. You did a great job!

Hope you get it sorted. These things can be expensive to repair. though if you take them to a dealer.

I was looking for a different problem ( my free wheel don’t work) but I really did enjoy watching this , hopefully I won’t have the problem you had but if I did I’d know what to do thanks for the upload and good instructions

Well I never thought I'd be interested in mobility scooter videos (give it 40 years) but I was taken in by this. Great work and so well explained. Good skills to learn too, given that we will all be riding electric motorbikes in the future lol. Top stuff, Really enjoyed those 2 vids. Have a virtual pat on the back. Cheers, Mike

Wonderful Martin, glad the chap now is able to be mobile once again. Honestly, this would be a great addition to the mower fixing for you. You can offer better deals than the official places and from what I have seen most with these things don’t have lots of money so it would be a big saving for them and a nice earner for you, win win!

Very informative! I have an electric commuter scooter & it doesnt have enough power to properly brake on hills & its really unsafe (I live in San Francisco, CA USA) If I have this right it seems I can probably upgrade the cylinder from the stock light use to a med/heavy use. (I have a Mercane Transboard 48v 500w foldable scooter) Thanks again!!!

You've got a real gem there, Martin. A clean and wax will attract the right buyer. As fun as petrol-powered equipment is, it isn't street legal. But at least where I live, there's no restrictions on electric disability equipment. You could have quite a bit of fun souping up a mobility scooter.

Hi, that was probably the best choice you made when upgrading to the mk 2 brake. Especially when used costs almost as much as new, and with unknown condition and mk 2 should be much better. That's why they made the change, I belive? Thank you for nice videos, we are very pleased with them. From Sweden.

The coil creates a magnetic field that opposes the ferromagnet inside, if the coil is still energizing then the ferro has demagnitized over time so there's less torque, same happens with electric motors that have aged or overheated weakening the magnet.

@watahyahknow 6 жыл бұрын

the brake is an electromagnet atracting a cast iron part with a brakeshoe in between sumtimes the cast metal part gets too magnetic it can cause the part to brake constantly one solution that sumtimes work is to take the thing a part and slam the cast metal part on a table a few times to demagnitize it , usually fixes it , not allways for a long time but you might get lucky

It sounds like a weak coil, the coil will show good but it will be weak and want allow it to operate properly, that's why the tech told you it can't be fixed in any conventional way, only thing that you could do is rebuild the coil but it might be more of a headache than it would be worth.

@rudy2580 4 жыл бұрын

Sounds like the brake winding (positive) was "poling" meaning shorting to earth providing the circuit is earthed at the negative (or vice versa), what else could it be? Look for wear (rubbing) marks around the coil outside and in particular inside, even test with a megger if you know someone who has one. To those suggesting a petrol engine I don't think you're allowed in a supermarket or pub with one of those running.
